SSRS ReportViewer Displaying Corrupted Text

Question

I'm having an issue with the ReportViewer control in an ASP.NET Web Application. I'm using Visual Studio 2013 and remote connecting to a SSRS Reporting Server running on SQL Server 2012.

The report runs fine in a browser, but when I try to load it in the report viewer control, I get a bunch of random characters (see image below). When I do an "inspect element" on the web page, all other markup on the page is missing. Thoughts?

Based on my research, the issue can be caused by the version of ReportViewer control, browser and system. Please update ReportViewer control to latest release to check the issue again.
If you are using another browser, I recommend that you should use IE explorer with
appropriate syetem to display the web page. If you use IE explorer to display the web page, I suggest that you run it in compatibility mode.
